  • Heading back to AHL
    Thomas was reassigned to AHL Ontario on Tuesday.

    Advice: Thomas made a strong first impression in the NHL with three goals, one assist, nine shots on goal and eight hits over seven games despite averaging 8:44 of ice time per contest. He'll still lose his roster spot to Alex Turcotte (upper body), who was activated from long-term injured reserve. It's possible Thomas stays in the AHL, as the Reign are set to begin a playoff run, but he should get a chance to compete for a roster spot for 2024-25. Rotowire.com 16 minutes ago
  • Expected to play
    Malenstyn (upper body) is expected to play Tuesday versus the Flyers, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

    Advice: Malenstyn is set to play on the fourth line after leaving Monday's game versus the Bruins. The 26-year-old is a key part of the Capitals' depth as a physical presence, and it's all hands on deck for a win-and-in situation for Washington. Rotowire.com 22 minutes ago

    Skjei (rest) will be out of the lineup Tuesday versus the Blue Jackets, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

The 30-year-old defenseman ends the regular season at a career-high 47 points with 185 shots on net, 90 blocked shots, 69 hits and a plus-15 rating over 80 appearances. Skjei should be good for a top-four role in the playoffs. Rotowire.com 26 minutes ago
